6.  Darron Lee, LB – Ohio State: (6-1, 235) Projected Round – Top 20.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  Darron Lee is one of the most versatile linebackers in the draft.  He could play in a 4-3 or 3-4 defense.  In the Redskins 3-4 he’d play inside linebacker.  Lee has the kind of athleticism that the Redskins could use not only against the run but also when dropping in coverage against the pass.  LW #6

5.  Reggie Ragland, ILB – Alabama:  (6-2, 252) Projected Round – Top 20.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Possible.  The Redskins run defense was among the worst in the league in 2015 and that’s something they have to change.  Reggie Ragland is the top inside linebacker in the draft and he could be an .impact starter for a Redskins defense in need of playmakers.  LW # 5
